In order to realize the dream that I had always longed for, I decided to take the plunge and retire last year at the age of 44 from the company I had worked for for 22 years, and decided to study abroad in Italy. I was looking for a school where I could make the gelato I wanted to make, and I found Accademia Riaci.

Italian Home Cooking


The first time I came to Italy was when the currency was still the lira. I didn't like tomatoes or cheese, so I used to complain that I didn't have anything to eat, but as I visited many times, including to watch soccer games, I started eating them. This time, while my mind and body are still healthy, I decided to study abroad to learn more about the Italian way of life and food culture that I could not get by traveling, and am taking on my last big adventure in my 60s.

初めてイタリアに来たのはまだ通貨がリラだった時代。トマトもチーズも苦手で、「食べるものがない」などと泣き言をいっていましたが、サッカー観戦をはじめとして何度も訪れているうちに食べられるように。今回、頭も体もまだ元気なうちに旅行では味わえないイタリア人の暮らしぶりや食文化を深く知りたく留学を決心、60代最後の大冒険に挑んでいます。

Hello, this is Makoto. I came to Florence to learn about gelato. Until recently, I was undergoing anticancer drug treatment for cancer. Gelato supported me during that treatment. I wanted to learn how to make gelato in the real world, so I convinced my doctor to come to Italy three months after I was discharged from the hospital. Like I did, I would like to someday make gelato that can be part of someone's daily life, or can be eaten by people who are sick and have difficulty eating, or who are terminally ill and cannot eat solid food.

こんにちは、Makoto S です。ジェラートについて学ぶためにフィレンツェに来ました。私はつい最近までがんの治療で抗がん剤治療をしていました。その治療中、私を支えてくれたのがジェラートでした。そんなジェラートを本場で学びたいなと思い、退院3ヶ月で主治医に無理言ってイタリアに来ました。私がそうだったように、いつか、誰かの日常の一部であったり、病気で食事が辛い人、終末期で固形物食べられない人が食べられるようなジェラートを作りたいなと思っています。

Internship


I am an intern photographer and assistant at Accademia Riaci.
I quit my job as a photographer in Japan and came here with my husband who wanted to work at a restaurant in Italy. I took a Gelato Internship Course at Accademia Riaci meanwhile.
After my new challenge, however, I began to think that there was more possibility in the photography field in Italy so I decided to go back to my area of expertise and restart.
I love coffee, so I enjoy visiting coffee bars in and around town. I hope I can let you know useful and helpful Italian daily-life and school information in my reports.

アカデミアリアチでカメラマン兼アシスタントをしています。
日本で写真の仕事を辞めて、イタリアのレストランで働いてみたい夫についてきてジェラテリアのインターシップをしていました。
が、その後イタリアで写真の仕事の可能性を感じ、改めて色々と挑戦してみているところです。
